Berkeley Township: Central Ave
About
Berkeley Township: Central Ave is a public beach access point in New Jersey, about 2.4 miles from Barnegat Light. It's a place to reach the sand rather than a full-service beach: swimming is not allowed here, and a fee is charged for access. Summer is the warmest time to visit, with typical July highs around 86°F and lows near 64°F, while September cools to about 77°F by day. These are typical averages from a nearby weather station in Toms River. Within about 10 miles inland are several walking routes, including the Walking Path at 6.5 miles, the Barnegat Branch Trail at 7 miles and the Sweetwater Trail at just under 10 miles.
